Chest and Lung Troubles and Their Successful
Cure by the Gas Treatment.
The new methods of the advanced school
of medicine are attracting generally wide
spread attention and none is more spoken OF
today than the treatment Of chest and lung
f. oubles bv gases injected and inhaled into
lungs These gases consist of carbOnic acid
and sulphereted hydrogen and their appllca
ton is by Bergeon's method OF Injection and
the Evans m thod of inhalation of spray
which, passing into vacuum Is atomized IN
t, such il finitisimal quantities that it can be
inhaled into the lungs with pleasure end pro-
duces most exhilaratlng effect upon ali
parts of the person brought into direct con-
nection with the gases.
There are now two physicians in the city,
Drs. Terrill & ShultZ, having Offices in rooms
2 and at No. IA North Main street, whose
special study for years has been the cause OF
consumptive and weak-chested patients ana
who have given the cure of lung troubles
such close attention that they OF necessity
promptly learn of all the newest and most
approved methods of treatment, indeed have
inaugurated many themselves. and as
promptly adopt all methods that recommend
themselves to their tutored minds The ply
sicians say of the new gas treatment that il
is ali innovation, over the old methods OF
the greatest Importance to those suffering
from any lung disease. They say they have
regular patients to the number OF from 80 to
40, of all ages and all sexes. at present IN
dergoing this treatment Each distinct case
has been most closely watche and daily
record kept of the beats of the pulse, the
number of respiratiOns and the varying OF
the temperature, SO that the exact action OF
the treatment is known from day to day. AL
the patients are doing admirably, and even
the worst cases feel the beneficial effect of
the gases within two or three days at most.
DR.. j. B. Mclaughlin, of Clearwater, hap
pened to enter the room during the last few
remarks of the physicians, and he was quick
TO endorse the wonderful effect of the treat
ment He said he had sent married niece
Mrs j. B. Mclaughlin, to Doctors Terril

himself had carefully examined hi.
niece and though he told her he could
improved her condition, yet he had to con-
fess he could not cure her. He heard of the
gas treatment now being practiced by Doc
tors Terrill & ShultZ in Wichita, and sent
her UP to them He considered her lungs sc
badly diseased that he never expected to see
her well again yet in five weeks she returned
home so well that had he not previously ex-
amined her he would have said she had never
had any lung trouble. The lady herself says
she is cured. DR.. Shultz says he took spec
isl interest in this case as it was a bad one.
The treatment consisted OF the injection and
the inhalation of gases by the Bergeons and
Evans methods respectively, both bel in
dispensable to the cure o. con-
sumption and the one ssary
adjunct to the other. The treatment
is entirely without pain or inconvenience to
80 the patients, causing neither nausea nor
any otner bad effect and always causing al
most instantaneous relief.
These physicians do not confine their be-
neficent powers to this line of practice en-
tirely. They treat all manner of acute and
chronic diseases, those of women especially,
and also make a speciality of the cure OF
diseases of the rectum so prevalent in this
country and so often neglected. Cauarrh and
asthma are also included among the more
common diseases successfully managed by
Doctors Terrill & Shultz, who consider no
cases of the above mentioned maladies of too
long standing to cure, and almost invariably
permanently. Rooms 2 and 4, No. IA North
